A Light in the Dark by Allee Richards

5.0

Nothing can capture my attention wholeheartedly as Aussie Lit can. This is the second Allee Richards book I've read, the first a bit forgettable, the second will definitely stay with me. The subject matter is dark but there is a joy of theatre within the pages which permeates through. This book hangs in the shades of grey, conflicted emotions which stem from abuse and corrupted innocence. A bit of a tumultuous time, I was thoroughly engaged throughout. A well-rounded cast of believable characters, not entirely likeable but real messy humans, with a nonlinear format which excelled as a vehicle to propel the plot along.

These stories need to be told, complex emotions need not be hidden away. A superb addition to the best of Aussie Lit shelf.
